RE: To any Flare Users out there-A Searching Question

["Barbara Vega" <BarbaraV -at- libertyims -dot- com>]

Hello Frank

You are quite welcome

To be fair, with Flare 3.0, we are now quite happy. It is a good piece
of software. But the search function, at least this aspect, we are
looking for a way to work around. 

I am glad my comments have been useful.

Subject: To any Flare Users out there-A Searching Question

Hi Babara,

Thank you for the hint with the Bolean operators. I am currently
evaluating Flare and have also found the default behavior of the help
search function little useful for me. It's good to know that you can
narrow the search by adding AND.

I'd also prefer the search function worked like that of Google. Just
enter two words and you only get help topics which contain both of these
words. If you really wanted to aggregate, you could just perform two
searches, one with the first word and one with the second.

I've also found out that, like in Google, you can search for a compound
by enclosing multiple words in double quotes. If you enter "system
variables", for example, you only get topics that have exactly this
term.

Regards,
Frank
